After looking at the spreadsheet I notice there is no one named Fred, or a person with 92% memory. Could there be others? Could it have been Lisa Fredstone?

I think "Memory-----92%" or whatever it was, was for the person you were talking to, not the one he/she was talking about. He/she got reprogrammed at the end, or something.

EDIT: I meant "Mind-----92%".

What do you think guys and galls,

Should I mail Jordan asking him to upload page 66 of BBB to his site?

The conversation w/ munchen tells me that we will get a hint form that page, or so it seems.

Patrol just notified me of a new page being up Worshippy

The letter says:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Dear Reader

I will do my best to write this in english. Over the past few months I have been experiencing recurring dreams, Knightmares if you will. They always start with a bright light which seems to take control of my body. I feel as if I am being transported to another place. I hear screams. Sometimes my own. I am crying for freedom, something which seems to be taken away in these dreams. Then there is that sign. It burns through the light, cuts an outline. It seems so familiar, like i have seen it before. But I have, every night in my dreams. In this letter I have attached my sketches of the symbol I hope that you can figure it out before my death.

Yours faithfully,

Dr Munchen


D.

Dear Readers

I have laid my trust in one of you. You shall not betray that trust. If you speak of what I have told you I will make sure that those rewards are never received and that your future taking becomes permanent. Do no even let your friends know that you are the one.

I Trust You With This

got a reply from Jordan :

Quote:

Hello Draghkar
Why so specific about page 66?I highly doubt that it has entered a matzai's
dreams.Dreams are controled.They have no choice in what they dream.You want
this page for another reason.I am pretty good with mind tricks.You have had
contact with someone else.But who else?Lisa?No, she is long
gone.Jin?Impossible.You my friend or foe have been talking to the very man I
need.You have made contact with the "GREAT" Doctor Oliver Munchen.Am I
correct?

I let nothing cross the rabbits eye.
Even though he sees sideways.

The mail I sent:

Quote:

Dear Jordan,

My friends have come forward with all the information we have on the case.
Personally i think that it is time that you show a little bit of insight
our way. Born Beyond Belief is getting more and more a book of interest to
us. Since one of the Matzai has seen the number 66 in their dreams, we
would like to urge you to post page 66 of BBB on your site.

Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.

In your debt,

Draghkar


What oh what should I answer...

It seems our friend Jordan is more clever than we first gave him credit. He figured out we've been in contact with Dr. Munchen. Considering that his new link is "Telepathy", I wonder whether Jordan is watching our communication here. Whoever he has laid his trust in should keep it to themselves and not post about it here unti we've determined whether he is watching this forum or not.

I think our next move is to get more information from Dr. Munchen. He was obviously in the servers at one point. If we discover how he escaped, perhaps we can help the others escape, too.

If Munchen contacts anyone via IM, be ready to ask him about his escape and his plans. Find out how we can apply his knowledge to help the others escape.

sent the following mail to Jordan:

Quote:

Hello Jordan,

I have spoken to one of the Matzai, like any of the others had communications with them. This one did not want to reveal his/hers name.
(s)he slipped me the number 66 and Born Beyond Belief. So thats why i asked you to post page 66. Why do you think that I have been speaking to Dr. Munchen? Dr. Munchen has been taken twice. There were matzai that were eyewitness to that...

How do you know that their dreams are controlled? Where did you get that tidbit of information?

I still would like to ask you to post page 66. I have reason to belief that there is a clue on there somewhere that might help us (both you and us) to find out what exactly is happening.

Kind regards,

Draghkar.

My mind grinds:

1) He is writing better. Using spaces after .
2) making us suspect somebody, one of us. I think it credits us we haven't adressed this yet. Smile
3) I think he used "telepathy" to come to this new tiem on the list. Smile

On the letter. Is smell code. (as this is the only way the doc is giving info it would make sense that there was some code. I would be disapointed if I was mistaken, but not surpised Twisted Evil )

Very good english for a german that apogises in advance. Very little german input (like capital lettering). Only that 1 umlaut, in [recürring] 2nd line, and only 2 corrections as far as I can see.
[freedom] line 7 (not sure what was writen there first but seems the same so why?)
[sign] line 8 also unclear what was wrong there.

I also detect some delibetare(?) mistakes. The s in months [line 2] is missing, wel you can 'guess it should be one but it isn't. Other words ending in an s have a clear one. [as] line 5, same thing.

Also the spacing between words looks unnatural.

I would expect a Dr. to have some control over his handwriting. This clearly is not a sample of that. Why? The letter was made for a purpose. Even in haste it could have been a clear, neatly written piece. Why the 'madman'-style?

why is dr. munchen underlined? and his signature in not really like
the print-cursive writing combo above it--
perhaps someone else wrote the letter and forced him to sign it?

By strictly comparison observations, I'd have to say that the signature was indeed written by the same person as the note was.

Look at the 'H' and 'E'.. dead give away.

oh i agree that it is the same individual--OOG
but i wonder if it is supposed to be the same character IG

edit: maybe it isn't supposed to be forged or whatever but why the underline?

Given age and profession I would expect a letter from our doc to look something like this. Lets not take this as far as the actual curving and style but... He's oldskool, he actually learned to write... with a pen not a keyboard. No way would he make a mess like that. I remember my grandfather (and agewise we are talking grandfather) Even his grocerylists were perfectly written.

Why is this such a mess? Forced? I doubt it. Forge a letter like this would be that much more easy. How would we tell it wasn't? Then.. could this be a forgery? Sure... but why?

But then again.. Why? seems to be the main question when anything happens on this plain of existence.

On the IG OOG. I think that our PM would have made the effort to actually get the forgery made by a second person. Who's to say he didn't? He could have found someone actually good at it. Twisted Evil

Actually I do detect some loosness in the signature missing from the rest or the text. Curled up R. Hight of the capitals X3 in stead of 2x. Lightness to the touch not seen anywhere else. (I checked by dragging the signature over the page to compare.

Could be.
